Chapter 1133: Prince Tochar

Returning to Chang'an again, the young man with deep eyebrows was full of melancholy, and when he left here, although he was unwilling, he was still full of hope for the future, and even felt that the dream of the ancestors of the past generations was not far away.

However, seeing that his lies were about to be exposed, how could the envoy of Tocharo, a country that had been destroyed for nearly a hundred years, still send an envoy to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty? It was the Tang Dynasty general surnamed Chen who was lonely and unheard of, and did not know the details.

These soldiers in charge of "escorting" were very cautious, and they failed to give them a chance to escape along the way, once they entered the gate of Chang'an, from now on, it would be difficult to fly out even if they had wings.

At the thought of this, the young man was discouraged.

There was at least one thing he wasn't lying, and that was the country of Tochar. As a descendant of the royal family of Tocharian, he has been burdened with a tragic fate since he was born. From his grandfather to his father to himself, all of them were driven by this fate until the end of their lives.

Capunada, in order to conceal his identity as a descendant of the Tocharian royal family, concealed the name with obvious royal characteristics, and instead changed it to a name that is common in Tocharian homeland.

It's just that as soon as he goes to Chang'an, all the shady things he has done will be turned out, where is there any reason to live?

Thinking that his ambition was unfulfilled and that he was about to die in a foreign country, Capunada felt the urge to cry.

"Sudeva, once we enter that gate, we will no longer have a way to live, do you regret it?"

Sudeva was the lewd thin man who had been following Capunada, and at this time he was very calm, and even a little determined.

"When I came to the Tang Dynasty to do these things, I had long expected that there would be today. It's just that the villain really still has questions in his heart, and he will be uncomfortable if he doesn't say it!"

"What can't be said until now?"

Capunada said loudly, they were talking in the Tocharian language, and they didn't worry about the Tang Dynasty soldiers who were "escorting" listening to it, and even if they did, they would definitely not understand what was said.

"The master sold his soul to the great cannibals, can he guarantee that they will fulfill their promise and help us restore the country?"

Sudeva was originally a faithful slave of Capunada's father, who gave him freedom when he was about to die, but even after regaining his freedom, he still chose to stay with Capunada, intending to help the Tocharian prince recover.

Capunada looked in a trance. It's not that he hasn't thought about it, but does he have a choice?

The Gazians, the Persians, and the Turks wreaked havoc in the homeland of Tocharo, with no soldiers in their hands and no money, so what did they take to restore the country? The great cannibals came, swept like a whirlwind from the distant west wind with unprecedented momentum, and defeated all the peoples of this land who had once been prosperous. Even the Tang Dynasty people from the east were also wiped out by the whole army, throwing away their armor and abandoning their armor.

It was in that year that the Great Cannibal found him and gave him conditions that he could not refuse, so he took his people from the homeland of Tocharian to the far east, Chang'an!

The morning sun is rising, and the melodious bell ringing in Chang'an City can be heard in the distance.

Kapunada, who had lived in Chang'an for many years, knew that after this morning bell, all the gates of Chang'an would be opened, and all his hopes would be completely crushed and buried!

"It's in town!"

The soldier in charge of the "guard" urged, and Capunada and his party had to reluctantly walk slowly towards the city gate.

There is no accident, Capunada feels like a stupid rabbit who willingly walks into the mouth of a tiger, but is there room for him to resist? If he does not resist, there may be a glimmer of life, and once he resists, their identities will be revealed in an instant, let alone hope?

Placed in a heavily guarded "post house", Capunada was nervous, but fortunately it was not a prison, indicating that the Tang Dynasty had not yet recognized their identity.

It wasn't until noon that a green-robed official came to the post house and conveyed the official document he brought.

It was summoned by the prime minister!

Since the Tang Dynasty restored the old system of prime ministers, there has only been one person who has held this position, that is, Qin Jin, who was responsible for recovering the two capitals and quelling the Anshi rebellion.

"Why did the prime minister see me?"

The blue-robed official's expression was very arrogant, and he said with a straight face:

"A small country, thanks to the Prime Minister's personal care, you should be grateful, why is it so formless?"

Capunada was of course very unhappy, but he still broke his teeth and swallowed in his stomach, who let his life be in the hands of the other party now!

About half an hour later, Capunada followed the arrogant blue-robed official into the Prime Minister's Mansion. The most powerful man of the Tang Dynasty lived here, and even the Son of Heaven in the palace had to survive under this person's snort.

This is really a strange national capital, even the emperor has to become a plaything in the hands of his courtiers, how far can this be from the death of the country?

Capunada secretly slandered in his heart, but as he got closer to the most powerful man, his heart grew more and more apprehensive.

Qin Jin looked at the exotic young man kneeling in front of him, with deep eyebrows and high eyes, his brown hair was slightly curled, although he had tied his hair and put on a hat like a Tang person, the exposed hair still showed characteristics that were obviously different from those of the Han people.

"You're the Tocharian prince?"

Qin Jin's question, Kapunada turned around in his mind before he reacted, when was his identity revealed? Moreover, how did the other party know his true identity?

Regarding his identity as Prince Tocharo, counting the cronies around him, there are definitely no more than a few people in the Tang Dynasty who know about it.

Large cold sweat crackled down Capunada's face, and he knew that he would die. He wanted to be tougher, but when he raised his head, he couldn't help but be discouraged when he saw the other party's sword-like gaze.

Like a defeated chicken, Capunada hung his head and said nothing, for it had come to this point, and it was useless to say more!

This series of expression changes, all the tribes are in Qin Jin's eyes, and he can roughly confirm that the news he got before is not wrong, it seems that the true identity of this person is really not simple.

The Tocharians had always been friendly with the Tang Dynasty, and even among the Tang Dynasty's border army, there were many Tocharians, and it was obviously an unwise choice for this down-and-out prince to be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty.

"If I can help you get back to your country, how will you repay me?"

Qin Jin has never liked to go around the bend when he speaks, and after simply finding out the details of the other party, he put forward his suggestion straightforwardly.

This made Capunada feel like it had been struck by lightning. He really didn't expect that the other party not only knew his bottom line, but even knew his complex of recovering the country clearly.

However, Capunada did not believe in Qin Jin because he had done too many things that were not beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, and he did not believe that the Tang Dynasty people could spare him and help him restore the country.

"If you want to kill, why bother with me, a prisoner of the ranks?"

Finally, Capunada uttered what seemed to him something that seemed tough.

But Qin Jin sneered and laughed.

"Qin didn't put you in prison, and second, he didn't shackle you, so how could he be a prisoner under the stairs?"

After a pause, Qin Jin changed his words.

"The big cannibal is cruel and murderous, backtracking, promising you to restore the country is as simple as casually spilling out of the water, if you are willing to cooperate with my Datang, Qin can make a blood alliance with you here, once the country is restored, it will always be a Datang vassal and will never lose!"

Capunada laughed.

"The big cannibal can go back on his word, but the prime minister can't go back on his word? How can I make me believe in a person who betrays the monarch?"

Qin Jin's face turned cold.

"Do you have a choice?"

There are only two paths in front of Capunada, one is the way of life, and that is cooperation. The other is a dead end, and that is to be killed!

Capunada stammered, and at the thought of this dead word, he felt that his throat was tight, his mouth was dry, and it was difficult to even speak. Of course he doesn't want to die, of course he wants to return to the country, and after venting his emotions in his heart, he will eventually bow to the cruel reality.

"What good will it do to the prime minister if you help me restore the country?"

When Qin Jin saw his expression, he knew that this was a person who knew the times, and said with a smile:

"I guess you also know that the Tang Dynasty is about to go on an expedition to the Western Regions, and if you get the homeland of Tochar, the big cannibals will be difficult to take care of!"

"Since the prime minister intends to march westward, once the government spits at the bottom of Charvalore, why bother...... Why don't you make it a county in Tang Prefecture?"

Qin Jin secretly sneered, Tocharo's hometown, roughly located at the northern tip of the Indian Peninsula in later generations, roughly on the territory of the current Pakistan, India, and part of the southern part of Afghanistan.

In Capunada's eyes, this is his dream homeland, but for the Tang Dynasty, it is a chicken-like existence. Turning into a vassal country is already the most suitable choice.

Of course, he wouldn't say that, though.

"Qin Mou will do what he says, if you don't believe it, you can go out and inquire and see if Qin Mou can break his word?"

Kapunada no longer spoke, for Qin Jin and his people, he did not study and inquire about them when he was in Chang'an, and he was indeed a relatively special person.

In order to make complete preparations for the Western Expedition, Qin and Jin tried their best to gather people from all walks of life in the Western Regions, who could be used as guides on the one hand, and on the other hand, they bought various countries along the way to stab a big cannibal knife in the back.

For this western expedition, Qin Jin not only attached great importance to it, but also made preparations as best he could, so as to achieve success in one battle. He knew that this kind of opportunity, even for the powerful Central Plains Dynasty, was only one or two.

If you fail, you may never get a chance again.

"You go back to the post house first, you can live well, don't worry, if you need anything, you can ask the officials of the post house for it." But there is one thing that must be remembered, you must no longer contact people at will, otherwise you will cause trouble, even if Qin has the heart to let you go, I am afraid that you can only be ruthless!"

Capunada couldn't help but shudder!
